The Readings

Nehemiah 8.1-3, 5-6, 8-10

All the people gathered together into the square before the Water Gate. They told the scribe Ezra to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had given to Israel. Accordingly, the priest Ezra brought the law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could hear with understanding. This was on the first day of the seventh month. He read from it facing the square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.

And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. Then Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God, and all the people answered, ‘Amen, Amen’, lifting up their hands. Then they bowed their heads and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground.

So they read from the book, from the law of God, with interpretation. They gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.

And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, ‘This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.’ For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law. Then he said to them, ‘Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions of them to those for whom nothing is prepared, for this day is holy to our Lord; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.’

Luke 4.14-21

Then Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding country. He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone.

When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:
‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.’
And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. Then he began to say to them, ‘Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.’

The Sermon
Prepared by The Revd Canon Dr Alan Billings.

We have just heard how Jesus begins his life’s work, leaving behind the carpenter’s workshop.

Just before this, he’s been in the wilderness for forty days trying to understand what God wants of him, wrestling mentally with tempting but unworthy ideas about doing God’s work, and putting them firmly to one side.

Now, he marks the start of his three year ministry by going into his local synagogue on the sabbath day. He’s invited to read and preach.

He finds words of the prophet Isaiah which henceforth must guide him in all he does. “The Prophet says: the Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, release to the captives, recovery of sight of the blind and to set at liberty those who are oppressed.”

Good news to the poor, lifting the burdens of the oppressed.

As I thought about today’s gospel, I had the television on. It showed me someone else who was just beginning what he also sees as his God-given mission for the next four years. He too was beginning his work in a place of worship.

I mean, of course, the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump.

If you watched any of the inauguration ceremonies, you may have been surprised by the amount of religion there was: church services and in the swearing in ceremony in the Capitol, the parliament. America is a religious country in a way we no longer are.

Also surprising, was that, traditionally, the two services were held in Anglican churches, which in America are called Episcopal, the main one being the national cathedral.

But most surprising of all was the sermon given by the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, Marrian Budde.

The election of this new president came after a bitter election campaign which has deeply divided America – Republicans and Democrats.

If there was to be unity, she said, it must be based on three foundations – respecting the dignity of all people; speaking truthfully; and being humble.

Then she spoke directly to the President, who was sitting a few feet in front of her. In effect, she was recalling how Jesus began his public ministry, shaping it on God’s priorities: good news for the poor, the lifting of burdens from the oppressed.

She exhorted the president, in the name of God, to have mercy on those who were fearful now of what he might do with his power. People like poor immigrants who toiled day and night to pick the crops, clean the offices, and wash the dishes in the restaurants. They paid their taxes, they were good neighbours, they attended churches. But because they didn’t have the proper documentation, they faced deportation. They and their children, who were Americans by birth, were scared, she said.

Have mercy on them. Treat them with dignity. Acknowledge truthfully their contribution. Be humble.

We talk glibly about speaking truth to power. Usually, the Anglican way is to do that indirectly, subtly. The bishop was anything but. Perhaps that was a mistake. It could be dismissed as discourteous rather than challenging. But truth was spoken to power.

At the end of this service we shall have an American hymn: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. It was written by Julia Ward Howe during the American Civil War and became the battle hymn of the unionist army. Although she came from a privileged family, she campaigned all her life for the abolition of slavery, which is what the civil war was in part about.

Towards the end of the war, Abraham Lincoln began his second term as president. He could have gloated in victory. He could have blamed his opponents for the country’s woes. Instead, he sought to unite a divided nation and start a process of healing. He said this:

“With malice toward none; with charity for all … let us … bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan – to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations.”

That generosity, it seems to me, is in the spirit in which Jesus began his ministry and in the spirit of what the bishop of Washington hoped for in her sermon – good news to the poor, lifting the burdens of the oppressed.

For Christians, it’s the spirit that should surely guide all our politics.

The Prayers
Prepared by Barbara.

In the power of the Spirit and in union with Christ, let us pray to the Father.

O God, the creator and preserver of all, we pray for people in every kind of need; make your ways known
on earth, your saving health among all nations …
This week we particularly pray for all those whose lives have become significantly worse and more
dangerous since the inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the USA, including both those living in
the USA and those living in Denmark, Greenland, Panama, Mexico and Canada. Please help those
countries to stand up to the USA in this hour of need. None of us want to become Trump’s Ukraine!!!
We pray also for the continuing success of the ceasefire in Gaza. Please help all your children in Gaza and
Israel to realise the benefits of a lasting peace and remind them that they are all “children of the book”.
Closer to home, we pray for the strengthening of trade ties with Europe in preference to making a trade
deal with the USA. Trump has made it clear that he favours his enemies, such as China, over his major
trading partners Canada and Mexico. Help our government to see that with clear eyes, and act
accordingly.

We also pray for all those in this country who are feeling the pinch of a harsh climate, financial and
meteorological. Help our government to remember that they were elected to serve all the people of this
country including those most vulnerable because of ill health, disability or age. Help us to help the
vulnerable of our own community, by providing a warm and welcoming place and by supporting our local
food bank.
Lord, in your mercy
hear our prayer.

We pray for your Church throughout the world; guide and govern us by your good Spirit, that all who
profess and call themselves Christians may be led into the way of truth, and hold the faith in unity of
spirit, in the bond of peace and in righteousness of life …
We pray for the joint worshipping community of St. Mark’s Broomhill, St. John’s Ranmoor and St. Mary’s
Walkley and welcome Beth Keith as our new Priest in Charge here at St. Mary’s. Please help us to play our
parts in this worshipping community.

We pray also for all Christians living in the USA, that they are more receptive to the Right Rev Mariann
Budde’s plea for mercy to all those now living in fear than Trump was. In her words, “May God grant us all
the strength and courage to honour the dignity of every human being, speak the truth in love, and walk
humbly with one another and our God, for the good of all the people of this nation and the world”.
Lord, in your mercy
hear our prayer.

We commend to your fatherly goodness all those who are in any way afflicted or distressed, in mind, body
or estate; comfort and relieve them in their need, give them patience in their sufferings, and bring good
out of their troubles …
In moments of peace and contemplation, we name to you all those known to us who are suffering. Please
care for them and for all those of whose suffering we are unaware.
Lord, in your mercy
hear our prayer.

We remember those who have gone before us in the peace of Christ, and we give you praise for all your
faithful ones, with whom we rejoice in the communion of saints …
We name to you in our hearts all those known to us both near and far who are suffering the loss of friends
and loved ones, asking that you bring your comfort and healing to them at this time of grief.

Merciful Father,
accept these prayers
for the sake of your Son,
our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.

The Readings

Isaiah 62.1-5

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until her vindication shines out like the dawn,
and her salvation like a burning torch.
The nations shall see your vindication,
and all the kings your glory;
and you shall be called by a new name
that the mouth of the Lord will give.
You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
and your land shall no more be termed Desolate;
but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her,
and your land Married;
for the Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married.
For as a young man marries a young woman,
so shall your builder marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
so shall your God rejoice over you.

John 2.1-11

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ Now standing there were six stone water-jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, ‘Fill the jars with water.’ And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, ‘Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward.’ So they took it. When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom and said to him, ‘Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.’ Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

The Readings

Isaiah 43.1-7

But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.
I give Egypt as your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you.
Because you are precious in my sight,
and honoured, and I love you,
I give people in return for you,
nations in exchange for your life.
Do not fear, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you;
I will say to the north, ‘Give them up’,
and to the south, ‘Do not withhold;
bring my sons from far away
and my daughters from the end of the earth—
everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.’

Luke 3.15-17

As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah, John answered all of them by saying, ‘I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing-fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing-floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.’

Luke 3.21-22

Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.’

The Sermon
Prepared by The Revd Canon Dr Alan Billings.

My youngest grandchild is called Moses. Because his mother is Jewish.

Like many modern families, my son and his wife are from different ethnic and religious backgrounds.

And this poses a question for them. How do you together bring up your children? What are going to be the values by which you raise them?

What parents recognise – or should - is that having a child is not like having a potted plant. True, both need feeding and watering – though, mercifully, a geranium does not have to be entertained – at five in the morning – on Christmas day.

And a geranium is going to be a geranium however much you talk to it.

Children are a different matter. We need to give some thought about how we talk to them and how we behave towards them and around them, because as we do these things we contribute towards shaping their character, we impart to them the values we think matter.

And that's what our religious traditions give us – values, without which our children will grow up confused and all over the place.

Much of this value imparting is done by example. They see the way we treat or speak about one another. Most of the time we unconsciously set values in front of them and they unconsciously absorb them.

This is not to say that our children won't rebel, won't at some point say thank you very much but now I make my own decisions. Of course they will. Some more than others.

But rebellion is not anarchy. Rebels have a point of view, a standpoint, and that often arises out of the very values by which we raised them, though we may not always recognise that. After all, we don't spend too much of our waking lives examining the fundamental values by which we live: we are too busy living. But they are there nonetheless, shaping our attitudes, determining our choices and decisions.

But from time to time we do remind ourselves of those values and refresh and renew them.

I think that's why so many people came through this church and other churches over the Christmas period – they were touching base again with the Biblical story and so the values enshrined in it – the love between parent and child, the deep desire for peace in the earth and goodwill between people. This is why all those families came here to sing carols.

And I think this is what is going on when Jesus came to be baptised by John in the River Jordan. He is renewing his faith, committing himself anew to its fundamental values.

When you do that it gives you the means by which you can make judgements, including judgements about the very traditions in which you were raised. You sometimes rebel.

This is exactly what Jesus goes on to do as he leaves behind the carpenter's workshop in Nazareth and takes to the road as a preacher and teacher.

The values he learns from his Jewish home cause him to say and do things that shock his fellow Jews. He uses the faith in which he has been raised to be critical where people have not understood its implications, or have become blind to what it means.

To give just one example. Jesus takes the teaching that we should love God and our neighbour. But when he is asked who is my neigbour he breaks with Jewish tradition, which had identified the neighbour as fellow Jews. Jesus says no that won't do and he tells a story to make his point. A story in which the hero is not a Jew, but a Samaritan, whom the Jews have no time for. Its the Samaritan who is the good neighbour, who goes to the help of the injured Jew when everyone else walks by on the other side. Jesus makes the point that we can't limit our love to people like us. Charity may begin at home, but it can't stay there. Love has to cross the boundaries of religion and race and reach out to anyone in need.

In the wilderness, John the Baptist calls to his fellow Jews to come and renew their faith by being baptised. They didn't all come. But some did.

One of the things a parish church like St Mary's does, in a sense just by being here, is to remind people that we don't live by bread alone, important though the needs of the body are. We live by values. And from time to time we need to remember those values and recommit ourselves to them. Many of our neighbours did that at Christmas. We do it in this service, every week.

The Prayers

Jesus calls us out of darkness into his marvellous light.
Washed clean by the waters of baptism,
let us pray that we may live the life to which he has called us.

Lord Jesus, eternal Word,
proclaimed as the Christ by John the forerunner,
hear us as we pray for all who proclaim your word
praying especially for Beth as she takes up her new role
Lord of truth,
hear our prayer.

Lord Jesus, baptizing with the Spirit and with fire,
strengthen us to withstand all the trials of our faith.
Lord of truth,
hear our prayer.

hear our prayer.

Lord Jesus, fulfilment of the promises of old,
give hope to all who suffer or are ignored.
Lord of truth,
hear our prayer.

Lord Jesus, beloved Son of the Father,
anoint us with the gifts of your Holy Spirit.
Lord of truth,
hear our prayer.

Lord Jesus, bringer of hope,
share with all the faithful the riches of eternal life.
Lord of truth,
hear our prayer.

Lord Jesus Christ,
in you the Father makes us and all things new.
Transform the poverty of our nature
by the riches of your grace,
and in the renewal of our lives
make known your heavenly glory.
Amen.

The Readings

Ephesians 3.1-12

This is the reason that I Paul am a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles— for surely you have already heard of the commission of God’s grace that was given to me for you, and how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I wrote above in a few words, a reading of which will enable you to perceive my understanding of the mystery of Christ. In former generations this mystery was not made known to humankind, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that is, the Gentiles have become fellow-heirs, members of the same body, and sharers in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Of this gospel I have become a servant according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of his power. Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him.

Matthew 2.1-12

In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, ‘Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage.’ When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They told him, ‘In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet:
“And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
who is to shepherd my people Israel.” ’

Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, ‘Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage.’ When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure-chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another road.

The Sermon
Prepared by The Revd Shan Rush.

The night sky and its multitude of stars have always been a source of fascination for me. Here in
the city we can’t really see it in all its splendour. Artificial street lighting, although necessary for
our safety, leads to ‘light pollution’ that restricts our ability to stargaze and enjoy the view, even
when the sky is clear. On New Year’s Day night, I ventured out into my mums garden on the edge
of a town in Somerset to see if I could identify the constellation Corona Borealis described on the
news because Astronomers and stargazers are eagerly awaiting the appearance of a "new" star,
which will come into view in the skies any night now for the first time in 78 years. I was amazed
and rather in awe at how clear the sky was and I had a 360 degree view of the stars. It struck me
that this was how the night sky would have been seen by people in the time of Jesus and that the
magi, what we would call today astronomers, would have seen it without the aid of powerful
telescopes. Their priority would have been to study the movement of the stars in the hope that it
would cast light on what was happening or about to happen on earth. Their background was as
pagans, yet some of them apparently studied what we today call The Old Testament, and believed
in the prophecies that the appearance of a new star or a comet predicted the coming of the
Messiah, the promised Saviour of the world. According to our gospel reading, when these magi
from the east noticed a new star rising, they associated it with the birth of the long awaited King
of the Jews, and so they set out in search of this child to pay him homage.

Matthew recounts that they initially travelled West to Jerusalem seeking the new ruler. This would
probably have been on the assumption that a king would be based there rather than somewhere
more obscure. They only went onto Bethlehem after the chief priests and scribes had told Herod
Micah’s prophecy that the long awaited Messiah would be born there. From his birth, we are
shown that Jesus will be a very different kind of king, one that turns expectations upside down.

From childhood I have had the image of the Magi following a specific star, but realistically, I expect
they had learned to navigate by the positions of many stars, using the night sky as a map and
compass. They would have recognised key constellations and with the knowledge that in general,
stars rise in the east and set in the west, they would have had a basic orientation. This made me
wonder if they mainly travelled under the cover of darkness, or if they also utilised the sun to
travel by day. As we think of our journey through life, it is worth remembering that the magi
needed to utilise more than the tools of their trade, the stars, to lead them to Jesus.

The magi needed knowledge of God’s Word to find the newborn king, snd they needed the chief
priests and scribes, people who knew God’s Word, to help them. So, too, for us. If we want to find
the Christ child, we need God’s Word, and we need each other, with our different skill sets,
knowledge and perspectives.

We are all on a journey, a pilgrimage to find Jesus, and to worship him. The wise men represent all
of us who are ready to follow a star in order to find fullness of life. The world of the Magi probably
wasn’t much different from ours today, they would witness sickness, poverty, danger, armed
conflict and rulers abusing their power. Also like the Magi, our world today sees many people
undertaking perilous journeys in search of a fresh start, a new life. Many of them are fleeing danger
or have been adversely affected by situations that mean their reality is that they feel persecuted,
stripped of their humanity and dignity. Most of us are fortunate to live in comfort and safety but
stressful events and circumstances in our own lives can make us feel overwhelmed and despairing
of the way life is going. The story of the Magi assures us that the guiding light of the Lord shines in
the darkness offering hope for the future of us as individuals and all of humanity.

In “Man’s Search for Meaning” Viktor E. Frankl wrote,

“One day, a few days after the liberation, I walked through the country past flowering meadows,
for miles and miles, toward the market town near the camp... There was no one to be seen for
miles around; there was nothing but the wide earth and sky and the lark’s jubilation and the
freedom of space. I stopped, looked around, and up to the sky – and then I went down on my
knees... I know that on that day, in that hour, my new life started. Step by step I progressed, until I
again became a human being.”

We are changed by meeting Christ. When the magi leave Bethlehem, we read that, having been
warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they return home by a different road. This could be
seen as a metaphor for the transformation that took place in their lives from being someone just
going about their daily business, to becoming someone who wanted to pay homage to Jesus and
who gave him significant gifts. They became People who worshipped Jesus, just as you and I are
doing today. We may not be bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh but we do bring other
gifts they might represent - Gold - the potential within each one of us, Myrrh - the gifts of
compassion and love that offers healing for ourselves and others, Frankincense - our aspirations,
hopes and dreams calling us to closer Communion with God.

This year, as we seek to encounter God in new and exciting ways, may we be guided towards new
perspectives and understanding, find liberation, wholeness and healing, and know fullness of life.
May we be generous in our giving, sharing the gifts each of us possesses that we may be a blessing
to one another as we recognise and receive, learn and walk in, share and reflect Christs light in the
world.
Amen

The Prayers

Today the Magi knelt before our Saviour.
Let us also kneel to worship him with great joy,
and to make our prayer to his heavenly Father.

Father, the Magi came from the east to worship your Son:
grant to Christians everywhere a true spirit of adoration.
Lord of glory,
hear our prayer.

Father, your Son is the King of kings and Lord of lords:
grant an abundance of peace to your world.
Lord of glory,
hear our prayer.

Father, the Holy Family shared the life of the people of Nazareth:
protect in your mercy our neighbours and families,
together with the whole community of which we are part.
Lord of glory,
hear our prayer.

Father, your Son was rich, yet for our sakes he became poor:
show your love for the poor and powerless,
and strengthen all those who suffer.
Lord of glory,
hear our prayer.

Father, the Magi presented to your Son gold, incense and myrrh:
accept the gifts we bring,
and the offering of our hearts at the beginning of this new year.
Lord of glory,
hear our prayer.

Father, you are the King of heaven, the hope of all who trust in you:
give to all the faithful departed the wonders of your salvation.
Lord of glory,
hear our prayer.

Rejoicing in the fellowship of Magi, shepherds and angels,
and of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph,
we commend ourselves and all Christian people
to your unfailing love.
Merciful Father,
accept these prayers
for the sake of your Son,
our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.
